Playground equipment with rolls

Abstract

A playground equipment comprising an array structure of networked ropes arranged in a rectangular array of parallelly arranged first ropes and intersecting second ropes and one or more rolls connected to a first rope, between two neighbouring second ropes wherein each roll comprisesan inner clamping part configured for non-slideable fixation to the respective first rope, andan outer part attachable to the inner clamping partwherein the inner clamping part and the outer part are in non-slideable connection relative to each other and wherein the outer part is rotatable relative to the inner clamping part.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a secure way to attach rolls to networked ropes, preventing fingers from getting pinched between the roll and rope. The rolls can be coloured in different colors, allowing children to create colorful images by rolling objects along the roll array. The rolls have parallel rotational axes, making it easy to roll objects along the rolls in one direction. The outer part of each roll can be easily attached to an inner clamping part, and a very easy way of assembling an outer part on an inner clamping part is obtained. The invention also provides a way to prevent sliding and rotation in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the ropes.

Problems solved by technology

Such colour walls, tic-tac-toe games and the like are cumbersome to mount in a playground equipment, serve mostly a decorative purpose, and therefore take up large space in a playground equipment.

Further, such elements are relatively expensive to make and cannot be added to existing playground equipment, without major reconstruction thereof.
